Welcome to russbutton.com!

If you're a visiting member of the Button clan, please drop me a
line. I have an interest in our geneology. I've been able to link
myself back into the line described in "The Button Families of America",
which desends from Matthias Button.

Matthias is the ancestor who migrated from the village of Harrold,
in Bedfordshire, England. In June 2003, we visited Harrold and
found the parish church our ancestors attended, as well as the
graveyard where Thomas Button, the father of Matthias, was buried in
the year 1617. Point your web browser
here
to see the photos we took. If you are a Matthias Button descendent,
then I urge you to take a trip to Harrold. It is such a beautiful
place. This is where we come from!

My immediate ancestors back to great-great-grandpa Joel Button
are written about on the family page.
